申请中国签证需要提交符合规格的近期彩色照片。照片的尺寸、头部比例、背景和冲印方式都有明确要求，不符合要求的照片可能导致申请被拒绝受理。本文按“是什么—怎么准备—常见问题”说明具体要求。
- 尺寸与头部比例：贴表用的纸质照片规格为宽33毫米、高48毫米；头部宽度为15毫米至22毫米，头部高度（从下巴至头顶）为28毫米至33毫米。
- 拍摄时间与姿态：须为最近6个月内拍摄的彩色照片。拍照时应正对相机，双眼睁开、嘴唇闭合、露出双耳，神态自然，无任何动作；人脸左右偏转不超过20度，上下仰俯不超过25度。
- 背景与相纸：背景须为白色或接近白色，无边框，不得使用背景有景物的生活照；须使用光面相纸冲印，不能用布纹相纸或普通打印纸；照片不得有污损、划痕或折痕。
- 眼镜与头饰：可以佩戴眼镜，但不得佩戴粗框、有色或反光眼镜；不建议戴帽子、头巾等饰物，如因宗教原因必须佩戴，须确保不遮挡面部。
- 图像质量：成像不得有渗光或阴影，亮度适中、肤色自然，无红眼、无明显畸变；面部特征完整、清晰，位置居中。
- 数字照片：在线填表时上传的数字照片另有像素与文件要求，例如宽354至420像素、高472至560像素，采用JPEG压缩，文件大小一般在40K至120K字节之间，具体要求以在线申请系统的提示为准。
- 是否允许修图：官方要求面部特征完整、真实、清晰，不得有明显畸变。因此照片可以正常调色，但不要过度修图或改变面部特征，否则可能在预审或现场核验时被退回。
- 自拍是否可用：官方并未禁止自拍，但自拍容易出现透视变形、光线不均、背景不合格等问题，通常难以满足上述规格要求，建议到专业照相馆按规格拍摄。
- 常见退回原因：尺寸或头部比例不符、背景带景物或有边框、佩戴粗框或有色眼镜、照片超过6个月、面部有阴影或红眼、使用布纹相纸或普通纸打印、照片有折痕或污损等。
上述规格来自中国外交部领事司的签证照片要求，由中国驻外使领馆和中国签证申请服务中心对外公布。在线填表时，系统也会提示数字照片的像素与文件大小要求，两者需同时满足。
如果数字照片在线上预审阶段不符合要求，一般可以重新上传；到签证申请服务中心现场递交材料时，如系统提示数字照片不合格，通常需要另带一张符合规格的纸质照片备用。提交的照片不符合要求，签证申请可能被拒绝受理。
以上为一般性说明，具体要求与最新规定以官方发布为准。

China Visa Photo Requirements: Size, Background and Common Rejections
A Chinese visa application requires a recent colour photo that meets the official specification. Size, head proportions, background and printing method are all regulated, and a photo that does not comply may cause the application to be refused. This guide explains the requirements.
- Size and head proportions: The printed photo submitted with the application form must be 33 mm wide and 48 mm high. The head width must be between 15 mm and 22 mm, and the head height (from chin to top of head) between 28 mm and 33 mm.
- When taken and posture: It must be a colour photo taken within the last 6 months. Face the camera directly with both eyes open, lips closed and ears visible; the expression should be neutral with no extra movement. Head position: no more than 20 degrees of left or right tilt and no more than 25 degrees of up or down tilt.
- Background and paper: The background must be white or close to white, with no border. Everyday-life photos with scenery in the background are not accepted. The photo must be printed on glossy photo paper, not matte paper or plain paper, and must be free of stains, scratches or creases.
- Glasses and headwear: Glasses are allowed, but thick-rimmed, tinted or glare glasses are not. Hats, headscarves and similar items are not recommended; if they must be worn for religious reasons, they must not obscure any facial features.
- Image quality: There must be no light bleed or shadows; brightness should be moderate with natural skin tone, no red-eye and no obvious distortion. Facial features must be complete, clearly visible and centred.
- Digital photo: The digital photo uploaded during the online application has separate pixel and file requirements, for example 354 to 420 pixels wide and 472 to 560 pixels high, JPEG compressed, generally between 40 KB and 120 KB. The online application system's instructions are authoritative.
- Is retouching allowed: The official requirements call for complete, genuine and clearly visible facial features with no obvious distortion. Normal colour correction is fine, but do not over-retouch or alter facial features, or the photo may be rejected at the preliminary review or at the counter.
- Can you use a selfie: Selfies are not explicitly prohibited, but they often suffer from perspective distortion, uneven lighting and unacceptable backgrounds, and usually fail to meet the specification. Having the photo taken at a professional studio is recommended.
- Common reasons for rejection: incorrect size or head proportions; a background with scenery or a border; thick-rimmed or tinted glasses; a photo older than 6 months; shadows on the face or red-eye; printing on matte or plain paper; creases or stains on the photo.
These specifications come from the visa photo requirements of the Consular Department of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and are published by Chinese embassies and consulates and by the Chinese Visa Application Service Centres. The online application system also sets pixel and file-size requirements for the digital photo, and both sets must be met.
If your digital photo fails the online preliminary review, you can normally upload a replacement. When you submit documents in person at a visa application service centre, if the system flags the digital photo as non-compliant, you will usually need to bring a compliant printed photo as a backup. If the submitted photo does not meet the requirements, the visa application may be refused.
The above is general guidance only. For specific requirements and the latest rules, please refer to official announcements.
